The FY 2007 Performance and Accountability Report includes four sections:
- The Management's Discussion and Analysis section presents an overview of the full report, including a summary of the Agency's programmatic and financial performance and a discussion of EPA's progress in implementing the President's Management Agenda.
- The Performance Section discusses EPA's performance results under each of its five strategic goals. We present detailed results for each of EPA’s 167 annual performance measures and more generally discuss our progress toward our long-term strategic objectives. This section also provides data associated with the Office of Management and Budget's Program Assessment and Rating Tool (PART) process and highlights some of the results achieved through EPA’s grants to states, tribes, and nongovernmental organizations.
- The Financial Section contains EPA's financial statements and related Independent Auditor's Report, as well as other information on the Agency's financial management.
- The Other Accompanying Information Section discusses some of the management issues we face and describes EPA's progress in strengthening its management practices to achieve program results.
